Abstract

By employing a new method for studying dynamical transport, hysteresis in the flux-gradient relation was recently discovered for modulated heating. In this paper, the new method is compared to the conventional heat-pulse propagation method. We also demonstrate integration of results from the new method with the power balance thermal conductivity.

Keywords

heat-pulse propagation, transport dynamics, conditional averaging
